Anodizing Advantages:
Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the amorphous
aluminum oxide layer on the surface of aluminum expanded metal sheet.
Aluminum expanded metal mesh is anodized to significantly increase corrosion resistance, surface
hardness and wear resistance, and to allow dyeing (coloring) in different colors for architectural
and decorative purposes, and to provide better adhesion for organic dyes and glues than does bare
aluminum expanded mesh. Better adhesion is arising from the deeper pores, which have better ability
to retain dyes or glues, in the anodic layer.
The anodic layer is non-conductive.
